Fireplug's 240 lives again! (New pictures of car and built motor)

Here's the first shot taken since it's touched the ground in over a year!

Gotta have some rubber to back up the motor...

Shot of the body of the car and a little engine bay teaser.

Haha, yes thanks for reminding me. The wheels were white last year. It was a mishap! They were supposed to be a nice silver (like the Kosei K1) silver...but somehow they messed up and the rims ended up being a tri-coat pearl white!

Close but no cigar! It's a pilot motorsports strut bar. Basically the same thing I guess.

They don't exactly but it'll work.

Those rims are 8.5" in the rear and the tires are 26" tall by 10.5" wide. To get the tires to tuck completely I need a +50mm offset...

The saftey loop was bought from Summit racing. They offer a Lakewood saftey loop. But I chose not to use that one, I actually had the shop fabricate one. So I've got the Lakewood one laying around.
